  <h2>Installation</h2>

  <p>First include <code>angular-resource.js</code> in your HTML:</p>

  <pre><code>&lt;script src=&quot;angular.js&quot;&gt;&#10;&lt;script src=&quot;angular-resource.js&quot;&gt;</code></pre>

  <p>You can download this file from the following places:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>
      <a href="https://developers.google.com/speed/libraries/devguide#angularjs">Google CDN</a><br>
      e.g. <code>//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/X.Y.Z/angular-resource.js</code>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a href="http://bower.io">Bower</a><br>
      e.g. <pre><code>bower install angular-resource@X.Y.Z</code></pre>
    </li>
    <li>
      <a href="http://code.angularjs.org/">code.angularjs.org</a><br>
      e.g. <pre><code>&quot;//code.angularjs.org/X.Y.Z/angular-resource.js&quot;</code></pre>
    </li>
  </ul>
  <p>where X.Y.Z is the AngularJS version you are running.</p>
  <p>Then load the module in your application by adding it as a dependent module:</p>
